I like being by myself. It gets too crowded with a lot of people. I like finding a quiet place outside (on a bench under a tree) and just letting my thoughts wonder. It's so peaceful and calm.
People are so loud and carry on pointless conversations. I don't mind carrying on pointless conversations sometimes... But I like being alone. I notice that some people talk and talk and talk forever about nothing… as if they are afraid of silent.
Does anyone else feel this way and like being alone?

Me!
I love being with family and friends but I really get cranky when I don't get "alone" time. Sometimes it's nice to just be alone and still with my own thoughts.
There's a line from a song called "Cool Change" by Little River Band..."If there's one thing in my life that's missing, it's the time that I spend alone". I like that!

Yes. I have a need for solitude. Sometimes I feel overwhelmed when surrounded by people. I have to deal with people on my job so when I'm away from here I enjoy the tranquility of peace & quiet! But don't get me wrong! I enjoy good company & being with the people I love. Sometimes I just need my space. Also, many of the things I like to do (painting, writing, reading) require solitude. I think this is natural for artistic people. Nothing wrong with that!

I love being alone and find it necessary at times to get away from the 'madding crowd'. I also like being with someone who appreciates silence and who understands that it is not always necessary to communicate through sound. I don't have a mobile phone.
Lately I find that I can be alone in company if I want to be and can focus on my own thoughts to the exclusion of distractions - the much cherished ability to do only ONE thing.
Being lonely is being alone when you don't want to be. I think we are essentially 'wired' for communication - we are social beings but we are individuals first and unless we take time out to know ourselves what can we communicate to another? Recycled gibberish!
The unreflected life is not worth living. It would involve going through the motions, doing what is expected of us, even saying and thinking what is given to us by others to say and think - going with the flow like a herd of lemmings. No, give me the company of humanity but allow me also time for myself - time to reflect on my experience with YOU so that the next time we meet I may have some new insight to share, perhaps even an original thought!

Yes. I do because sometimes I don't do well with other people; I have a tendency to draw inwards instead of outwards. I find it better to keep things level-headed and call it- "me time." It's unselfish and deeply personal so I can understand your feelings too. It's spiritual freedom that is hard to explain to those who don't understand, let alone wish to. It's nice to know that one is never alone when you post these type of feelings in an online forum; it makes me feel more at ease because I know where you're coming from. It takes courage and sacrifice to admit being alone without being lonely. Thank you for reading my answer to your question.

I like being alone most of the time.
Sometimes i need to be around other people or else i start to feel a little crazy from my own thoughts. It helps to have some type of interference once in a while.

Yes, I like being alone, I hate having to make all that pointless conversation. I guess that's why I hate phones, too.

Yeah I enjoy being alone at times too. On my breaks at work, I'll go for a 15 minute walk by myself. Talking to people all day gets on my nerves.........it's like giving myself a little bit of me time.

I absolutely do! I find after being around others for even a few hours I MUST get off by myself to recharge my batteries so to speak. A niece of mine in discussing this issue once made an interesting remark. She said extroverts are people whose batteries recharge when they are with others while introverts are people whose batteries discharge when with others. I think there is some truth to this and that there must be a genetic basis for this phenomenon.

You're right, people are loud and annoying. If you're always talking and hanging around with people, you wouldn't have any time to play videogames, watch Naruto, or watch wwe wrestling. You may want to hang out with your friends sometimes but when it all comes down to it, theres nothing like being alone.

Lost heart,
People chatting on about nothing...isn't it aggravating? I'm with you. I spend a lot of time avoiding those people. I do like being alone most of the time but I tend to get depressed if I am alone for too long. I have found someone like myself to spend my life with. He is very independent and also enjoys his own space. We talk about real things.It's fine to be just who you are!
